Thanks Richard. I really like the kit I bought. After all, who doesn't like to play with fire? http://www.gouletpens.com/Wax_Seal_Bundle_p/package-waxseal.htm

Thanks for the comment, Tony. This new type of sealing wax is probably a bit easier to use than what you had to deal with years ago. Check out these handy videos: http://www.gouletpens.com/J_Herbin_Red_Supple_Sealing_Wax_p/h331-20.htm

Margin Release on My Olympia Typewriter - Update

First of all, let me say THANK YOU for all the assistance I received from the typosphere on my last blog post about this Olympia typewriter. It means a lot when people take the time to respond and even create a video (thanks Scott!). I've still not been able to... Continue reading

Teeritz, I remember reading about your SM9. I'm glad you got it working. I think we'll get this one figured out too. Fingers crossed....

Ken, I think Heather has tried that. I'll doublecheck and see.

Margin Release on my Olympia Typewriter

A few weeks ago, I bought what should have been an Olympia SM9 in excellent shape. I've been wanting a SM9 after owning a SM3 and really enjoying that particular typewriter. I've been looking for one and ran across what I thought was going to be a great example of... Continue reading

Real Mail & a Personal Update

You know what this is? Yes, that's correct - it's REAL MAIL! (and with my name on it!) I cannot adequately express how much I enjoy seeing envelopes like these in my mailbox. Those are SO MUCH more interesting than the usual characters that I find there: credit card offers,... Continue reading

Thanks for the comment, Mark! Yes, I was pretty shocked by the size but as you say, she is a beautiful machine.

The AMC SK-24 Typewriter - My Latest Purchase!

I received this via the USPS yesterday. By the looks of the box, it's a miracle that it made it from Missouri to Kentucky without being badly damaged. However, I was lucky that only the ribbon cover had come loose. A few initial observations on this machine: It's built like... Continue reading

Richard, I'm not sure exactly who the repairman is. It sounds as though he's been in the typewriter repair business for a number of years which is one of the reasons I was curious about his use of Blow Off.

Good advice, Rob. I've been careful with it and have had no bad results so far. It is some strong smelling stuff though. I don't see how you could use it inside without some major ventilation.

Typewriter Cleaning with Blow Off Rubber Rejuvenator

I was watching a video several months ago and the typewriter repairman (seems to be quite the character!) used Blow Off Rubber Rejuvenator to clean the typebars. Here's the video. I bought a can and have used it some. I'm curious if anyone else in the typosphere makes use of... Continue reading

Me too, Bill. It's especially fun when taking a machine in need of some TLC and getting it back into shape.
